How to Battle

Below is a general example on how a battle should be played out.

- To start a battle, make a new topic and title it "____ is looking for a Challenger!"
-- Your First post should have a picture of your pet on it's battle-statted cert.

- For a challenger to join, they just have to post a link to their own pet asking to battle you. It is up to you to accept or decline their offer if you feel your pets are too mismatched.
-- Do not continually bump your topic. You can only bump it when your topic is pushed off the first page.

- After finding someone, change the topic title to "Name of your pet vs. Name of other pet" and add the challenger's picture to the first post.

EXAMPLE BATTLE

----------------
The players take turns posting.
All actions involve using the Random Number generator.

Aphid Carl (26hp)

Carl grunts as he is slammed at full force, his jiggly insides throb with pain. "I'm not beaten yet," the aphid cries, before skittering behind his opponent to aim at the uni's legs.

((Notice how I'm rping in 3rd person? You are free to rp in 1st or 3rd, it is really up to the OP.
And you can format your RP text any way you wish, but try to use something easy to see/read. No one wants to struggle reading through a block of bright yellow text.))

This continues on til one of them runs out of HP.

Both players must post a link of this battle in their battle log regardless who won.
Remember to also update your battles won/lost.
Winner will also get 1 bp.

NOTE: HP does not automatically heal at end of battle. This is to prevent people from spam battling.
Health resets at midnight PST, that's 3am EST.
(If still in the middle of battle during the reset time, health will reset after that battle is over)
